The Dec. 3 full moon was the first of three consecutive super moons. The next two will occur on Jan. 1 and Jan. 31, 2018. A super moon is a full moon or a new moon that approximately coincides with the closest distance that the moon reaches Earth in its orbit, resulting in a larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth.
